Book Review: Wait For Me by Susan May Warren
Now Pete and the other PEAK Rescue Team members are in a race against time, the elements, and the actions of a vengeful man. Pete will have to use everything he’s learned to find Jess and Esme—and pray that his past mistakes don’t cost him the life of the woman he can’t stop loving.
“Faith, action, romantic tension, humor, and emotional depth.”
“Warren excels at creating flawed characters the reader cares about, as well as building a suspenseful adventure.”
Let me start by saying that the synopsis above, while intriguing, struck me as a bit confusing, and in hindsight, it’s a very simple overview of the plot. In other words, this book is SO much better than its synopsis (which is not a bad thing! I hate it when a book doesn’t live up to its description.)
The characters are complicated and a bit flawed. Pete is determined, perhaps too much so, competitive and maybe a bit proud. Jess is a little too giving to others (to her own detriment) and finds herself caught in a lie to please her mother (and we know THAT never works out well.) And of course, there are crossed lines and miscommunications that will have you yelling at the characters (because you’ve been sucked in.)
What this book also has is a fast-paced, tension-filled plot, and a couple big plot twists that I did not see coming. There’s romance, a lot of hold-your-breath suspense and action, this book had a little of everything! As it’s Christian fiction, the romance is clean.
